Okay, folks. Get ready to treat yourselves. If you’ve been missing something salty and crunchy to munch on on your gluten-free, grain-free, egg-free, dairy-free, nut-free, and/or autoimmune protocol diet, these Sweet Potato Crackers are the kitchen magic you’ve been looking for. With just a handful of ingredients and a very hands-off cooking time, making crackers has never been easier. If you can’t find store-bought sweet potato puree, you can make your own by baking 2-3 sweet potatoes, peeling them, and pureeing them in your blender. You can also substitute pumpkin puree or use any other type of winter squash (butternut, for example). Feel free to leave out the rosemary, add more salt to taste, or throw in other seasonings like garlic powder or dill for whatever kind of flavor you want your crackers to have. This is a very adaptable recipe!

Thank you for this recipe. I am going to try it tonight.
My little one has a coconut sensitivity so I am going to use olive oil. I will let you know how I get on.
Keep on shining!!
I would suggest using lard if you can, as it’s more similar to coconut oil. But either way, let me know how it goes and I hope you and your little one enjoy them!
I have made these three times so far and each time I used a different type of fat to see which worked best. The olive oil made the crackers taste almost buttery – so good, the tallow worked well and the bacon fat worked fine too.
Thanks for the recipe – my whole family really enjoyed it.
Thanks for sharing! I’m so glad your family enjoyed the crackers!
These are fabulous! I made them a little too thin, so they crumbled a bit , but the taste was great. Will definitely make them again…. like in a couple days! I have successfully reintroduced eggs, so I am at this moment eating them topped on an egg, with a side of bacon. Thanks for the great recipe.
Thanks for sharing! Glad you enjoy them, Liz–and congrats on the eggs!
Do these need to be refrigerated? Or will they travel well?
As long as they are cooked crisp throughout, they will keep on the counter in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
Does the sweet potato puree need to be cooked first? Or do you just puree a raw sweet potato in the blender/food processor??
Sweet potato puree is made from cooked, peeled sweet potatoes, by processing them until smooth.
I need help…my crackers never hardened completely. They were more like fruit roll-ups. What did I do wrong?
Hi Ann! I’m sorry to hear that. A lot of things could have affected the recipe, including your altitude, the thickness of the crackers, how long you left them in, and the quality of your oil. I’ve made these crackers in four different ovens over the years and the cooking time can vary widely depending on the oven and if there are any hot spots as well.
Mine also did not produce the desired consistency. These weren’t even close to a cracker. The flavor was really good so I’d love to know how to make these work. Should I reduce the amount of oil? They are very greasy. You didn’t use flour correct? I feel like I’m missing something. Any advice would be much appreciated.
No, there’s no flour. If they came out very greasy, reducing the amount of oil sounds like a good idea.
